Light in the Smog

It’s been 8 months since my last blog post (sounds like confession). Where has the time gone?

Since then I’ve changed jobs and finished my degree.

And the world seems to have gone quite mad.

At least the Blogosphere is still turning.

Shanghai Smog

End of a Dream

C-sharp minor

plays through the eaves

of this house,

wind-cold emptiness, the ambient noise

of destruction

where laughter once lived,

Shoji, last opened to plum-blossom whispers,

now lachrymose with silent

half-life,

a bird singing for

no-one
